Schwerin (dpa / mv) - The museum association in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is concerned about the future financing of houses in the state in view of the Corona crisis.
The question arises, "what will happen when there is actually no more money," said Andrej Quade from the Museum department of the Association of the German Press Agency.
Accordingly, the burden on public finances could also affect museums.
"The fear is very strong."
The problem is currently not acute, but affects the next households, also with a view to the lack of funding from the state and federal government, said Quade.
If there is no income in municipalities and districts or with organizations such as associations, for example from projects or events, the question arises, “who falls by the wayside”.
One hope not so many or no one.
According to Quade, there is currently uncertainty in many museums in the country regarding the practical implementation of the precautionary measures when reopening after the lockdown.
"The houses are really happy that they can finally open at some point," said Quade.
"But that was a bit ad hoc now."
